Quick Release Chuck
The CarveWright™ System, with its computer-controlled 3-D carving and
general woodworking capabilities, is a revolutionary breakthrough in
bench-top power tool design.
Central to the performance and versatility of the CarveWright machine is
the patented Quick Release Chuck (or Quick Change). The CarveWright
utilizes this quick release chuck system to make changing any-and-all
CarveWright approved bits fast and easy. Using the patented bit adapter,
the quick release chuck will accept both 1/4” and 1/2" shank bits with
equal ease (please see the Cutting Bit section for more information on
CarveWright approved bits). This means that executing complicated,
multi-bit project designs is a snap; even when using widely varying bit
sizes and profiles.
Many of the service issues encountered with the CarveWright machine
occur because of improper use and/or maintenance of the quick release
chuck. The goal of this document is to provide all of the information
necessary to keep the quick change in top operating condition. It is
important to remember that the quick release chuck may need to be
replaced from time to time over the life of the machine. The quick release
chuck is warranted against manufacturing defect only and is not warranted
against issues related to general wear and tear.
